Filter by:The goal of this prospective randomized controlled study is to explore the role of indocyanine green-fluorescence imaging in management of cystic lymphatic malformation.. To clarify the application value of indocyanine green-fluorescence imaging in both diagnosis and treatment of cystic lymphatic malformation (cLM) in children, is helpful for exploring pathogenesis of cLM, and providing a clearer scientific basis for subsequent surgical intervention. It also provides alternative for the future diagnosis and treatment of cLM. Participants will receive indocyanine green-fluorescence imaging before operation, while the patients in control group will receive traditional operation. Researchers will compare difference in curative effect between two groups.
This is a Phase 2a/b single arm open label study to evaluate the safety, reactogenicity, and efficacy of intracystic injection of TARA-002 in participants 6 months to less than 18 years of age for the treatment of macrocystic and mixed cystic lymphatic malformations. The Phase 2a safety lead-in, age de-escalation study is designed to establish the safety of TARA-002 in older participants 6 years to less than 18 years before proceeding to younger participants 2 years to less than 6 years, then 6 months to less than 2 years. The Phase 2b is an expansion study in which enrollment of participants will be initiated after safety has been established in each cohort during the Phase 2a safety lead-in study. Each participant will receive up to 4 injections of TARA-002 spaced approximately 6 weeks apart.
Overgrowth syndromes are rare genetic disorders defined by tissue hypertrophy that can be either localized or generalized, affecting both latitudinal and longitudinal growth. The genes involved in overgrowth syndromes are not well characterized but mostly concern the PIK3CA/AKT/mTOR pathway, a major actor of cell growth and proliferation. The mutations are not inherited but occurs during embryogenesis leading to somatic mosaicism. Owing to the variability of the clinical presentation, their exact prevalence is yet unknown. In order to answer this question, the investigators team create here the first French national registry on overgrowth syndromes.
In current practice, options for venous and lymphatic malformations remain limited. Recently an oral medication, sirolimus, has been found to benefit patients when taken once or twice a day for several months. Unfortunately there are many side effects associated with this medication, some of which can be severe including, neutropenia, oral ulcerations, and lab abnormalities. The purpose of this study is to determine if once weekly dosed sirolimus will be effective for the treatment of venous and lymphatic malformations. Additionally, the study will evaluate patient satisfaction and identify adverse effects. Participants will be on the medication for 6 months with an option to continue after this time period.
Cutaneous microcystic lymphatic malformations (CMLMs) are rare conditions of children and adults resulting from abnormal embryologic development of lymphatic vessels. They present as clusters of vesicles full of lymph and blood of various extent. They ooze and bleed, inducing maceration, esthetic impairment, scars, pain, bacterial infections and impaired quality of life. Currently, treatments for CMLMs are disappointing, and their management is challenging. Sirolimus is an inhibitor of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), a serine/threonine protein kinase involved in cell growth and proliferation, cellular metabolism, autophagy and angio-lymphangiogenesis. Topical sirolimus, known to be efficient and well tolerated in cutaneous angiofibromas linked to tuberous sclerosis, has recently been reported effective in few reports of patients with CMLMs. The objective of this trial is to compare the efficacy and safety of a 12-week application of 0.1% topical sirolimus versus topical vehicle in CMLMs in children and adults.
To evaluate the efficacy of Rapamycin in extended cervicofacial lymphatic malformations in pediatric patients. Rapamycin is administered oral for a 6 month period. The success rate is determined by volume reduction superior to 1/5e of the initial volume measured by MRI, impact on QOL and reduction of bleeding in case of mucosal involvement.
Lymphatic anomalies are a rare subset of vascular anomalies that are poorly understood. the understanding of the natural history, long-term outcomes, risk factors for morbidity and mortality, and the relative benefit of medical therapies and procedures is limited.The goal of this project is to better understand these diseases and improve the care of theses rare patients. To do this, the investigators are conducting an observational study of patients with lymphatic anomalies, including an annual follow-up questionnaire to gather prospective data on mortality, morbidity, treatments, and functionality as well as quality of life.
